2016-06-28journalct: allow --boot=0 to DTRT with --file/--directoryZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
--boot=0 magically meant "this boot", but when used with --file/--directory it should simply refer to the last boot found in the specified journal. This way, --boot and --list-boots are consistent. Fixes #3603.
2016-06-28journalctl: use simpler variable names in get_boots()Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
Those are just local variables and ref_boot_offset is especially obnoxious.
2016-06-28journalct: do no allow --this-boot to take argumentsZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
Before --this-boot was deprecated in a331b5e6d47243, it did not take any arguments.
2016-06-28journalctl: allow --file/--directory with --boot or --list-bootsZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
It works mostly fine, and can be quite useful to examine data from another system. OTOH, a single boot id doesn't make sense with --merge, so mixing with --merge is still not allowed.

2016-04-25journalctl: turn --unit= in combination with --user into --user-unit=Lennart Poettering
Let's be nice to users, and let's turn the nonsensical "--unit=… --user" into "--user-unit=…" which the user more likely meant. Fixes #1621
2016-04-25journalctl: port --machine= switch to use machined's OpenMachineRootDirectory()Lennart Poettering
This way, the switch becomes compatible with nspawn containers using --image=, and those which only store journal data in /run (i.e. have persistant logs off). Fixes: #49
2016-04-25journalctl: don't trust the per-field entry tables when looking for boot IDsLennart Poettering
When appending to a journal file, journald will: a) first, append the actual entry to the end of the journal file b) second, add an offset reference to it to the global entry array stored at the beginning of the file c) third, add offset references to it to the per-field entry array stored at various places of the file The global entry array, maintained by b) is used when iterating through the journal without matches applied. The per-field entry array maintained by c) is used when iterating through the journal with a match for that specific field applied. In the wild, there are journal files where a) and b) were completed, but c) was not before the files were abandoned. This means, that in some cases log entries are at the end of these files that appear in the global entry array, but not in the per-field entry array of the _BOOT_ID= field. Now, the "journalctl --list-boots" command alternatingly uses the global entry array and the per-field entry array of the _BOOT_ID= field. It seeks to the last entry of a specific _BOOT_ID=field by having the right match installed, and then jumps to the next following entry with no match installed anymore, under the assumption this would bring it to the next boot ID. However, if the per-field entry wasn't written fully, it might actually turn out that the global entry array might know one more entry with the same _BOOT_ID, thus resulting in a indefinite loop around the same _BOOT_ID. This patch fixes that, by updating the boot search logic to always continue reading entries until the boot ID actually changed from the previous. Thus, the per-field entry array is used as quick jump index (i.e. as an optimization), but not trusted otherwise. Only the global entry array is trusted. This replaces PR #1904, which is actually very similar to this one. However, this one actually reads the boot ID directly from the entry header, and doesn't try to read it at all until the read pointer is actually really located on the first item to read. Fixes: #617 Replaces: #1904
2016-04-25journalctl: simplify discover_next_boot() a bitLennart Poettering
Drop the "read_realtime" parameter. Getting the realtime timestamp from an entry is cheap, as it is a normal header field, hence let's just get this unconditionally, and simplify our code a bit.
2016-04-25journalctl: simplify get_boots() a bit, by getting rid of one BootId objectLennart Poettering
Let's store the reference as simple sd_id128_t, since we don't actually need a BootId for it.
2016-04-25journalctl: add some explanatory comments to get_boots()Lennart Poettering
2016-04-25sd-journal: add API for opening journal files or directories by fdLennart Poettering
Also, expose this via the "journalctl --file=-" syntax for STDIN. This feature remains undocumented though, as it is probably not too useful in real-life as this still requires fds that support mmaping and seeking, i.e. does not work for pipes, for which reading from STDIN is most commonly used.
2016-04-25journalctl: improve error message when we have trouble reading journal filesLennart Poettering
Let's output the actual error code encountered, and let's not claim this was purely triggered by files, because it can also be triggered by directories.
2016-04-22journalctl: add --no-hostname switchLennart Poettering
This suppresses output of the hostname for messages from the local system. Fixes: #2342

tree-wide: merge pager_open_if_enabled() to the pager_open()
2016-02-26tree-wide: merge pager_open_if_enabled() to the pager_open()Alexander Kuleshov
Many subsystems define own pager_open_if_enabled() function which checks '--no-pager' command line argument and open pager depends on its value. All implementations of pager_open_if_enabled() are the same. Let's merger this function with pager_open() from the shared/pager.c and remove pager_open_if_enabled() from all subsytems to prevent code duplication.
2016-02-22tree-wide: make ++/-- usage consistent WRT spacingVito Caputo
Throughout the tree there's spurious use of spaces separating ++ and -- operators from their respective operands. Make ++ and -- operator consistent with the majority of existing uses; discard the spaces.

This should be handled fine now by .dir-locals.el, so need to carry that stuff in every file.

journalctl: make "journalctl /dev/sda" work
2016-02-02journalctl: make "journalctl /dev/sda" workMichal Sekletar
Currently when journalctl is called with path to block device node we add following match _KERNEL_DEVICE=b$MAJOR:$MINOR. That is not sufficient to actually obtain logs about the disk because dev_printk() kernel helper puts to /dev/kmsg information about the device in following format, +$SUBSYSTEM:$ADDRESS, e.g. "+pci:pci:0000:00:14.0". Now we will walk upward the syspath and add match for every device in format produced by dev_printk() as well as match for its device node if it exists.

Make it clear that specifing boot when there is actually only one has no effect. This cosmetic patch improves user experience a bit.

2015-11-27tree-wide: expose "p"-suffix unref calls in public APIs to make gcc cleanup easyLennart Poettering
GLIB has recently started to officially support the gcc cleanup attribute in its public API, hence let's do the same for our APIs. With this patch we'll define an xyz_unrefp() call for each public xyz_unref() call, to make it easy to use inside a __attribute__((cleanup())) expression. Then, all code is ported over to make use of this. The new calls are also documented in the man pages, with examples how to use them (well, I only added docs where the _unref() call itself already had docs, and the examples, only cover sd_bus_unrefp() and sd_event_unrefp()). This also renames sd_lldp_free() to sd_lldp_unref(), since that's how we tend to call our destructors these days. Note that this defines no public macro that wraps gcc's attribute and makes it easier to use. While I think it's our duty in the library to make our stuff easy to use, I figure it's not our duty to make gcc's own features easy to use on its own. Most likely, client code which wants to make use of this should define its own: #define _cleanup_(function) __attribute__((cleanup(function))) Or similar, to make the gcc feature easier to use. Making this logic public has the benefit that we can remove three header files whose only purpose was to define these functions internally. See #2008.
2015-11-17journalctl: don't print -- No entries -- in quiet modeEvgeny Vereshchagin
2015-11-12journald: rework --sync/--rotate logic to use CLOCK_MONOTONIC timestamp filesLennart Poettering
Previously, we'd rely on the mtime timestamps of the touch files to see if our sync/rotation requests were already suppressed. This means we rely on CLOCK_REALTIME timestamps. With this patch we instead store the CLOCK_MONOTONIC timestamp *in* the touch files, and avoid relying on mtime. This should make things more reliable when the clock or underlying mtime granularity is not very good. This also adds warning messages if writing any of the flag files fails.

No functional changes.
2015-11-11journalctl: refuse to --machine= in combination with --flush, --sync or --rotateLennart Poettering
2015-11-11journalctl: make --rotate synchronous, tooLennart Poettering
Of course, ideally we'd just use normal synchronous bus calls, but this is out of the question as long as we rely on dbus-daemon (which logs to journald, and thus cannot use to avoid cyclic sync loops). Hence, instead, reuse the wait logic already implemented for --sync, and use a signal in one direction, and a mtime watch file for the reply.
2015-11-11journalctl: add new --sync switch for syncing the journal to diskLennart Poettering
With this new "--sync" switch we add a synchronous way to sync everything queued to disk, and return only after that's complete. This command gives the guarantee that anything queued before has hit the disk before the command returns. While we are at it, also improve the man pages and help text for journalctl a bit.
2015-11-05treewide: use the negative error codes returned by our functionsMichal Schmidt
Our functions return negative error codes. Do not rely on errno being set after calling our own functions.
2015-11-03journalctl: when we fail to open a journal file, print whyLennart Poettering
When we enumerate journal files and encounter an invalid one, remember which this, and show it to the user. Note the possibly slightly surprising logic here: we store only one path per error code. This means we show all error kinds but not every actual error we encounter. This has the benefit of not requiring us to keep a potentially unbounded list of errors with their sources around, but can still provide a pretty complete overview on the errors we encountered. Fixes #1669.
